Social Media Recruitment Campaigns

Smart recruiting starts with smart outreach. Let TAESE help you connect with the educators who make a difference.

TAESE helps districts build smart, sustainable personnel pipelines to consistently bring in high-impact educators. We design and manage custom-branded social media campaigns to do the heavy lifting for you, and to reach job seekers where they scroll, swipe, and engage every day.

Our expertise will ensure that your openings are seen, shared, and acted on.

We Deliver Results, Not Just Advice

TAESE goes beyond consultation. From strategic recruiting to long-term retention, we help districts achieve their hiring goals. Our customized, multi-platform social media campaigns stretch across Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and more, to connect your job openings with real candidates.

  • Eye-catching content tailored to your district
  • A live communication system for approvals and edits
  • A full media calendar so you always know what’s launching next
  • A partner who understands the high stakes of general and special education staffing

When you work with TAESE, you will have full access to our collaborative platform where you can review posts, suggest edits, and track your campaign from start to finish.

Custom Campaigns for Your Community

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Every district is different, and every community has unique needs. TAESE builds recruitment campaigns tailored to your goals, your audience, and your area.
